Summary

Throughout their career, the medical abilities of airline pilots are regularly assessed. This population is exposed to occupational constraints and risks, in particular psychosocial, and could constitute a population at risk of developing anxiety and/or depressive disorders. However, mental health remains difficult to apprehend in this population because of a strong stigmatization of mental disorders and the risk of loss of medical certification to fly. In the literature, there are very few studies dealing with mental disorders in airline pilots and the results are heterogeneous, with a prevalence of anxiety and/or depressive disorders ranging from 1.9 to 12.6%. There is no study of this type among airline pilots employed in France. Therefore it seems useful to determine the prevalence of anxiety and/or depressive disorders in this population and to describe the co-factors associated with these disorders.
